Trigun Stampede is a showcase of the modern dynamic that slow, episodic, well built plot, and character development driven story lines are a dying breed.
Studio Orange focused too much on character designs to give any justice to the characters and world building the original manga and anime gave to us all those years ago and instead gave us 12 episodes of poorly paced, incoherent, nonsense.
I would not recommend Stampede to anyone that has seen the original, and if you have watched this and felt like there was almost something there, I indulge you to look into the original for it's better character dynamics, development, and
...
overall care for what was being made.

Shark Girl a short 1 volume story that follows Samejima the tall, delinquent appearing but kind hearted girl and Touzai our short and honestly quite bland male protagonist as they slowly get to know each other.
The story had potential in Samejima and her family developing around Touzai's apparent feelings as they bud and potentially conflict with how they look toward their sister but the first volume is not much to gather from.
The main appeal of this manga comes from Samejima's design especially with the fins in her hair and unique uniform compared the the usual high school settings outfits. Other than that the art is
...
quite simple.
I don't know if the series will be started up again seems to be canceled but the manga is available to purchase digitally if you can read japanese and the author can be found on twitter at raku_raku if you wish to see more from him.
For people that like numbers, overall a 6 manga had great potential cuteness and good romance but lacked in developing Touzai and any characters other than Samejima.

I honestly didn't know when this manga would end but it finally has. Having picked it up during the anime adaptions airing season back in 2015 I have been faithfully reading Souma for 5 years, and even with it's ups and downs I am glad I was there for the journey even if not from the start.
The story following Yukihira Souma on his path to being one of the most outstanding cooks at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. This winding road has you meeting memorable characters over the course of Souma's road to perfecting his cooking style. You will see plenty of Shoukugekis, battles consisting of chef(s)
...
making the best dish possible based on a specific ingredient, then having it judged by 3 judges of stature in the culinary world.
The strong sides of the series comes from it's comedy. Even with emotional situations you find yourself in love with a colorful cast each with their own style of cooking that makes them unique. Along with this amazing cast you get dramatic panels of bizarre situations be it the food being so delicious that you are enveloped within properties of the ingredients (sometimes without clothes) or just seeing Souma's senior in a naked apron. The light these characters shine is bright.
I'd also like to note that the depth to the cooking is not underhanded or irrelevant. There was a lot of research from the mangaka that helped create a wonder atmosphere and mouth watering food designed for your eyes to feast on. It is another key aspect to why this series survived in Jumps sturdy lineup for 6 years.
If you are worried if this manga is for you and aren't sure I recommend reading the first few chapters. The tone it sets is common and will let you know if the personality of Souma and scenes you will see can grasp you attention.

6000 with an intriguing title and cover many people will see something interesting til they see the score and reviews. While having a setting that many can get behind, 6000 suffers from terrible pacing, lackluster characters, and an f-you author ending. The main redeeming factor comes from the art where the artist does a great job of manga's limited colors of black and white to create an atmosphere centered around lighting that makes this quick read at least nice to look at if you find a good source.
Overall, 6000 has plenty of problems while looking good. It's a short 22 chapters so it's entirely up
...

I can never understand why things that are super generic and follow see through paths are so popular. Is it because it reminds them of something they love? Does the story pump you up even though you can see the outcome? I don't know but I wish I did.
The only thing going for it is it's setting. In this make believe land there is a dungeon that goes down many floors (Atleast past 60) and in each level of the dungeon there are monsters that anyone can go in and fight. The only reason to fight them is to get them gems they drop and
...
exchange them for gold and maybe curiosity as well. It follows they idea of being in a game but this time its not actually a game just whats natural in this world. You raise your stats and develop skills that allow you to go deeper into the dungeon and obtain larger gems.
The charcters are generic and mediocre. The main charcter Bell is a weakling in the begining and then set in front of obstacles that prove his strength on the way to what he dreams for himself in the future. Lili the supporter of the party that Bell leads collects all the gems making it easier for the gold outcome the be larger and she provides a development for Bell in the earlier episodes. Crozzo is a blacksmith that Bell unintentionally runs into when looking for a new set of Crozzo's armor. These two create a deal and partner up to take hold on the lower levels that need larger partys to face when low level. Hestia is Bell's godess and provides care for him. All of the god's and godess's look to create Famillias a group of adventures they care for and send into the dungeon. She is a charcter that is either loved or hated. I personally dislike her attitude and personalitly. It ruins the atmosphere of the show and it seems she is there to create some comedy. Wallenstein is one of the strongest fighters in the lands and Bell's love at first site. She is basically a charcter there to provide movement for the story. She is considered an idiot except when it comes to fighting which she excells at.
The artstyle is bland and simple. There is nothing amazingly good about it. I didn't notice and signigant drops in quality while watching and and it stayed around a average mark during the whole series. The same for the sound. Opening and Ending were both alright nothing amazing considing others of this season and the soundtrack didn't stick out either.
I enjoyed it enough to finish it. It wasn't anything amazing and reminded me alot of SAO. I wouldn't be suprised about a second season even though it was't annouced. Overall the show was OK. It could be worth a watch if you enjoy video games or SAO. If looking for a romance as strong as the one in SAO it is not here so don't expect developement. Watch at you own pace and drop it if needed. This show is a not need watch.

A random watch of mine that felt like a waste of time but to be honest better then expected.
This is a 1 episode short story that follows 3 girls as they practice and strive to become Maikos. The show covers what the girls do to practice and do while they are getting ready for an upcoming festival.
The charcters are a nice bunch of teenage girls, there superior Maikos, and elderly teachers. They are all well designed and easy to like.
The music consists mostly of a piano that plays calmly during the show to set a perfect mood.
Art is nice and average. It is nothing spectacular
...
or crappy. I will complment the backgrounds of the city though as they look quite nice.
This OVA is nothing to be going in as if its a 10/10 anime. So I suggest just watching it as a show to pass by the time and learn a little bit about Japanese heritage.

I will be honest with you all. Unless you are bored and have nothing better to watch don't watch this.
Now lets begin~!
---Story---
Score: 8
The story follows a boy named Souta who has the ability to see flags above someones head that allows him to see what they are like or if they might die soon. I find this story rather orginal and a good watch if it was done correctly. The story is also rushed near the end skipping 2 characters and their developement. It is quite noticeable and is quite annoying.
---Art---
...
Score: 6
The art is nice but not fantastic. It is your average art that has nothing really special to it.
---Sound---
Score: 5
The sound is nothing special just like the art. The opening and ending are quite nice but nothing that really will stay in your head are will make you start to hum to it randomly.
---Characters---
Score: 5
The charcters are generic. The main protagonist is Souta a boy with a special abilty to see flags that let him know what they are like or what will happen to them soon. His design is nothing sleek or fancy just your normal tall skinny teenager with black hair. Well for the other characters they is one most likely to your liking. There is a range of different cools from the Big Sister type to the girl who is the main protagonist Childhood Friend.
---Enjoyment---
Score: 7
If you are like me you will follow a anime to the end if you are enjoying it for its entertainment. This show is just one of the shows that had good enough comedy and story to keep me til the end to see what happens but its nothing fantastic.
I hope this was of any help to you otaku anime watchers.

When it comes to cliff hanger endings this should win a award.
---Story--- (7/10)
The story follows Nice and his adventures with the group of Hamatora a group of people who take up tasks for money and complete them with there Mininum powers.
---Art--- (9/10)
When it comes to the art of Hamatora it is above average and different. It is flashy and uses practially ever color in the rainbow. The fight seens are different and can get a bit gorie.
---Sound--- (6/10)
Music is nothing special the opening and ending are nothing really special or catchy.
...
---Characters--- (8/10)
There is nothing better then having interesting and different characters. When you have characters that are all different in fashion, powers, ways of thinking, personality. Its better then having your generic school enviroment with standard clothing.
---Enjoyment & Overall--- (7/10)
The anime is different but now amazing our something you need to go out of your way to watch. When i watch anime i watch to enjoy and if i do i stay till the ending and if im writing a review it clearly kept me there till the end.
---Warning---
If you cant handle having a huge cliff hanger with some left unanswed questions. I will suggest waiting till the 2nd season comes out which is announced at the end of the series with a "To Be Continued".

"Log Horizon" a anime based in a mmorpg world called Elder Tale and you might be thinking being trapped in a mmorpg world this just might be a SAO copy cat but its not. It follows a better story of what it would be like and adds decisions of what certain people would do to working as a team to a monarchy.
Log Horizon follows the story from the day a player named Shiroe and 30,000 other japanese players get trapped into the game of Elder Tale. It shows him and his fellow close players take on tasks of rebuilding there new world into one with
...
laws and organization.
The art is above average but what kicks it up is the great action scenes. There is nothing really else to say except for that if you want to watch this anime i suggest HD for the nice fights and backgrounds.
The sound is amazing with one of my favorite Openings of all time Database by MAN WITH A MISSION the outro is catchy ending theme that had me attemping to sing it every time. With background music it was there when needed and to pump up for somthing exticing.
Characters are far one of the best things about this anime it has Shiroe our "Villian with Glasses" the main protaginst and main thinker and leader of the group and usually behind the scenes doing all the work. Then Akatsuki the Assassian and Naotsugu a Guardian both Shiroe's man friends introduced in the beginning. There are others such as my favorite Nyanta and Marielle not many else are as big but each are unique.
My enjoyment of this anime was huge i never missed a episode every week and dont worry if you feel you will get sad because of a ending with more to come because second season was announced for this fall so don't worry.
Overall = 9

As when you watch any anime you have to be open to the genre with this being a harem you should expect most of the over used things in this genre.
Plot: With Infinite Stratos you will find yourself in the future where mankind is at a age where mechs are created and used but there is a twist they can only be used by the female gender. This is the main idea of the story but there is one other thing the is a boy named Ichika who can use the mechs as well. This boy is forced into the I.S academy where he
...
is surrounded by women.
Next we have the story which is about Ichika and his harem life while haveing to deal with problems with the school and training. After the first couple of episode a the action begins and Ichika is left to fight with his personal I.S and those of his other female class mates.
With the characters you have the main male Ichika and his other lovers. This includes the 5 from the first season and 2 new. First is the Student President Tatenashi Sarashiki who is also the strongest in the school which is why she has the title of President. Next is her sister Kanzashi Sarashiki who is not as strong and has always been not at the same level as her sister.
After this is the sound which is ok in my eyes but with me i dont pay to much attention to it other then the Opening and Closeing. The opening was cheerful and average not very memorable. The Closeing was better. It kept the cheerful feel and found its way to something i listen to often.
Animation on the other hand is different when i say that i mean it was done by someone else. It was similar but if you compared them side by side you would see the differences other than that is was nice art work but not interesting or amazeing.
This leaves me with my final verdict giving it a 7 out of 10. Also saying if you like the harem, sci-fi, romance genres to watch it
